Atomic clocks count time through the counting of atomic vibrations. In the EMdrive experiments, laser beams that when through certain zones in the resonant cavity showed faster than light behavior.
see http://www.techtimes.com/articles/49360/20150428/nasa-may-have-accidentally-discovered-faster-than-light-travel.htm "NASA is currently studying the technology for future applications, but few expected anything like this to happen: according to a post over at the NASA Space Flight forums <http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=36313.1860>, when a team of researchers fired lasers into the resonance chamber, the particles were accelerated to astronomical speeds...with some moving even faster than the speed of light."
